HIPAA compliance refers to adhering to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and its subsequent regulations.
This legislation aims to protect sensitive patient health information (PHI) by setting standards for:
With a Virtual Private Network (VPN), organizations can easily protect data transmission, secure data with strong encryption and meet other compliance requirements to secure electronic Protected Health Information (ePHI).
When you connect to a VPN, you create an encrypted tunnel that protects your data from hackers and third parties. This allows you to set up a completely private and secure connection to another network, enabling remote employees to securely access the network while they’re outside of the office.
Our service actually takes this one step further with Wi-Fi Security – a patent-pending feature that automatically activates military-grade encryption the moment an employee connects to an unsecured Wi-Fi network. This keeps all data being transferred over the network hidden from hackers — even if their mobile device is locked and inside their pocket.
Plus, our DNS Filtering Solution prevents the employees from accessing spammy websites that could endanger the company’s network security.
Majority of ePHI breaches result from compromised mobile devices or networks that contain unencrypted data which can result in:
To secure confidential data, organizations can implement a HIPAA compliant VPN to encrypt all transmitted data over the network, securing protected health information both on-site and remotely. Cloud VPNs integrate seamlessly with major cloud providers and can ensure that sensitive data located in cloud environments are fully protected and secured.
Here are the benefits of using our cloud VPN.
